Father Set
Set is the name of a fictional demon-god within the continuities of Conan the Barbarian and Marvel Universe.
He is apparently an amalgam of the name of the Egyptian god Set and the appearance and characteristics of the Egyptian monster Apep and the Greek mythological figure the Lernaean Hydra. This interpretation of the figure may also be influenced by H. P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos.
